Everything was lovely. The staff were so friendly and hospitable. The breakfast was great and more than we expected.
The area is a phenomenal area and the Carta buses so convenient.
We would definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay at Barksdale House Inn. The staff was great. Our room was clean and spacious. The breakfast was delicious. The location was perfect - we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. We hope to visit Charleston again soon and we will definitely stay at the Barksdale House Inn.
Wonderful place to stay in the heart of Old Charleston! Everything was perfect during my 4-night stay, and the staff is attentive and accommodating. I couldn't have picked a better spot in my budget for my first trip to Charleston. I would definitely stay there again!
The staff are very welcoming, friendly and intentive. It’s a cozy place to stay and it’s right in the heart of Charleston. I would definitely recommend.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Good location that’s the most positive about the property. Very overpriced for the conditions. Check-in staff was beyond unfriendly. Would not recommend.
Our three night stay in the Barksdale House Inn was an enjoyable experience as much for the staff as the Inn itself. Nothing was too much trouble and the included afternoon tea with a glass of wine was much appreciated. The Inn is in an enviable location for all that Charleston has to offer.
We had a wonderful stay at the Barksdale! The staff was so nice and we really enjoyed the breakfast and snacks. The only downside was how damp the property felt. The dampness made the room smell.
Very good location, close to College of Charleston, King shopping street, city market and many restaurants. Walkable distance to many attractions. Service is great, all the staff there are super friendly and welcoming. Order to cook breakfast and afternoon tea time is a highlight. Will definitely recommend to friends and come back again.
Our stay was amazing. Located right between Meeting Street and King Street - close to shops, restaurants and Charleston sites and attractions.
The house is very rustic amd wonderfully decorated. Our room was clean and spacious.
The staff were very friendly and their breakfast menu (being "continental" and all) was amazing. I wouldnt call it a continental breakfast at all as you could get anything from grits to belgian waffles, including avacado toast.
We would definitely stay at Barksdale again.
